Introducing the new AutoConversion channel on YouTube

With the roll out of our new video product for auto dealers we ended up starting a channel on YouTube to publish the videos. The videos include content specific for auto shoppers which does not mix well with our video content on Viddler.com, so we it worked out that this content would appear on a YouTube channel.

With the advent of this new video channel we are dedicating this next webinar to give members a tour of the new channel.

The webinar will be short and sweet. We will spend the first few minutes going over our webinar training program for those new to our webinars. We then will jump right in to showing the new YouTube channel and what auto dealers and shoppers can expect from the channel.

Automotive workshop scheduled with ADAGP for Sept. 28

On Wednesday September 10, 2008, Scott Rainville (Tell All Video) and Ryan Gerardi (AutoConversion) are speaking at a seminar in Southeastern Pennsylvania with ADAGP, the Automobile Dealers Association of Greater Philadelphia. The seminar is titled, “The 32% Factor – Utilizing Blogs, Email, SEO, Video and Social Media to Quality Leads and Develop a Customer Audience”, the concept inspired by information released in a study last year by Cobalt, Polk, and Yahoo!.

In the seminar, Gerardi and Rainville will be discussing this “32%  Factor” and leading an exercise for dealer attendees to experience hands-on participation in preparing an Email Marketing campaign that utilizes their Blog, SEO, and Video Marketing techniques.

“There is an abundance of theoretical information and ideas made available to Car Dealers in the form of newsletters, blogs, and seminars, but a deficiency in applicable information dealers can take back to their dealership and apply. Our goal with this seminar is to give attendees a simple and useful technique they can remember and easily apply in their jobs at the dealership,” states Gerardi, Founder/CEO of AutoConversion.

Space is limited but this seminar is open to ADAGP Member and Non-member dealers. See registration page for pricing and sign-up information.
